J. Earl Moreland Lecture to Address Sino-U.S. Relations

Professor Tang Hao

The annual J. Earl Moreland Lecture on Asia will be held at Randolph-Macon College on Thursday, April 8, 2010 at 7:30 p.m. in the Washington Room of Washington-Franklin Hall. Professor Tang Hao will present “Sino-U.S. Relations in Competition and Cooperation.” This event is free and open to the public.

Tang is currently the Fulbright scholar-in-residence at Randolph-Macon College. He is on leave from South China Normal University in Guangzhou, China, P.R.C., where he is an associate professor in the School of Politics and Administration. He is teaching economics at R-MC during the 2009-10 academic year.

Tang is widely published in professional journals on current politics and development in China and on international politics and international relations. In addition to his scholarship he writes news commentaries and essays for Chinese media. His subjects include analysis on public policy; change in the political system; the development of citizen society; and political and economic issues in Southeast Asia regions. Tang's November 2009 article, titled Corporate Values, Green Governance, addressed the challenges of environmental pollution in China.

Each spring, the J. Earl Moreland Lecture on Asia brings a distinguished expert to the Randolph-Macon campus for a public lecture. The purpose of the lecture is to create greater student understanding and interest in Asian affairs through direct contact with distinguished scholars and prominent professionals. The lecture series was established through the generous donation of the late Dr. Lik Kiu Ding ’49 to commemorate Dr. J. Earl Moreland, who served as president of R-MC from 1939-67.
